"The Man I Am Today" lyrics

Lord, I wish that I could see myself the way You do
Then maybe I could get a few things right
'Cause I know: everything that's good in my life comes from You
So, I'm asking You to help me see the light

'Cause I'm trying to break the strings that keep my dreams tethered to the ground
I'm trying to be the man. I know I can before the curtain comes down
Forgive the man I was and let him fade away
Lord, help me love the man I am today

I've done more than my share of things in life to let You down
But there's been grace enough to see me through
And every time the questions make me doubt my purpose here
I'm thankful for the faith that comes from You

'Cause I'm trying to break the strings that keep my dreams tethered to the ground
I'm trying to be the man. I know I can before the curtain comes down
Forgive the man I was and let him fade away

'Cause I'm trying to break the strings that keep my dreams tethered to the ground
I'm trying to be the man. I know I can before the curtain comes down
I wanna praise instead of criticize
I wanna see the beauty right in from of my eyes
Forgive the man I was and let him fade away
Lord, help me love the man I am today

Ooh
Lord, help me love the man I am today
Jesus loves the man I am today
Jesus loves who you are today
Oh, praise the Lord. He loves the man I am today
